Gronk! Gronk!
Albuquerque Contemporary 2004 at the Albuquerque Museum
By Steven Robert Allen
Gronk is roughly the sound a goose makes while chasing away a potential predator, but don't let that confuse you. Gronk also happens to be a renowned Los Angeles performance and visual artist best known for his spectacular murals. This year, he was also the juror responsible for selecting entries in Albuquerque Contemporary 2004, Magnífico's 15th annual exhibit of some of the best contemporary artists from the Albuquerque area.

The Other America
Parks Gallery
By Steven Robert Allen
John Edwards isn't the only one who thinks there are two Americas. Erin Currier's complex, multi-media paintings take a nose-dive into the inky pit of our multicultural nation, revealing that the United States is considerably more than just a bunch of pansy white boys like me (and John Edwards). Currier's exhibit, The Other America, opens this Saturday, Aug. 7, with a reception from 4 to 7 p.m. at Parks Gallery in Taos. It's worth the long ride to check out this amazing art. The show runs through Aug. 24. (505) 751-0343.
Book Review
Truth in a Book of Lies
Review by Ben Carlson
The Five Biggest Lies Bush Told Us About Iraq
As a firmly anti-hysterical liberal, I began reading The Five Biggest Lies Bush Told Us About Iraq with a hint of skepticism. I feared that the bold title and sensational packaging were giveaways that the book was a self-gratifying screed, and an unusually shallow one at that. Fortunately, I was wrong. Far from a work of pop-leftist propaganda, Lies is a damningly precise sheep in partisan wolf clothing.
By Kane S. Latranz
Did you catch that popular black comedy Fight Club a few years back? If in addition to making expensive bath soap out of fat stolen from liposuction clinics, the subversive heroes of that film had turned their ambition to producing a periodical of startling fiction and articles, the Los Angeles-based quarterly Small Doggies might have been the result.

Number of reported hate crimes up slightly in Utah
SALT LAKE CITY — Race-related issues were the most reported types of hate crimes in Utah in 2011, according to newly released statistics from the FBI.
The Hate Crimes Statistics report compiles statistics submitted by law enforcement agencies across the nation regarding hate crimes that involve bias in race, religion, sexual orientation, ethnicity and disability. The FBI reported 6,222 hate crime incidents in 2011 nationally involving more than 7,700 victims, with nearly half of those crimes being related to racial bias.
In Utah — with a population of more than 2.7 million — 68 hate crimes were reported by police during 2011. California, with a population of more than 37 million, had the most reported hate crimes in 2011 at 1,040, followed by New York, New Jersey and Massachusetts.
The 2011 statistics mark the third year in a row that the number of reported hate crimes in Utah increased. There were 63 hate crimes reported in 2010; 48 in 2009; 40 in 2008; and 55 in 2007.
According to the FBI's statistics, the most common type of hate crime in 2011 in Utah was racial bias with 29 reported incidents. That was followed by bias over religion and bias over sexual orientation.
The Unified Police Department investigated the greatest number of hate crimes in Utah in 2011 with 12, according to FBI statistics. It also had the largest number of reported hate crimes concerning race, religion and sexual orientation.
Bountiful had four reported hate crimes in 2011, with three of them relating to religious bias, the FBI reported.

PC Shipments Post the Steepest Decline Ever in a Single Quarter, According to IDC
Worldwide PC shipments totaled 76.3 million units in the first quarter of 2013 (1Q13), down -13.9% compared to the same quarter in 2012 and worse than the forecast decline of -7.7%, according to the International Data Corporation (IDC) Worldwide Quarterly PC Tracker. The extent of the year-on-year contraction marked the worst quarter since IDC began tracking the PC market quarterly in 1994. The results also marked the fourth consecutive quarter of year-on-year shipment declines.
Despite some mild improvement in the economic environment and some new PC models offering Windows 8, PC shipments were down significantly across all regions compared to a year ago. Fading Mini Notebook shipments have taken a big chunk out of the low-end market while tablets and smartphones continue to divert consumer spending. PC industry efforts to offer touch capabilities and ultraslim systems have been hampered by traditional barriers of price and component supply, as well as a weak reception for Windows 8. The PC industry is struggling to identify innovations that differentiate PCs from other products and inspire consumers to buy, and instead is meeting significant resistance to changes perceived as cumbersome or costly.
"At this point, unfortunately, it seems clear that the Windows 8 launch not only failed to provide a positive boost to the PC market, but appears to have slowed the market," said Bob O'Donnell, IDC Program Vice President, Clients and Displays. "While some consumers appreciate the new form factors and touch capabilities of Windows 8, the radical changes to the UI, removal of the familiar Start button, and the costs associated with touch have made PCs a less attractive alternative to dedicated tablets and other competitive devices. Microsoft will have to make some very tough decisions moving forward if it wants to help reinvigorate the PC market."
The impact of slow demand has been magnified by the restructuring and reorganizing efforts impacting HP and Dell. Lenovo remains a notable exception as it continues to execute on a solid "attack" strategy. Mid- and bottom-tier vendors are also struggling to identify growth markets within the U.S. Among the most vulnerable group of vendors are the whitebox system builders, which are undergoing consolidation that is affecting shipments as well as the distribution sector.
"Although the reduction in shipments was not a surprise, the magnitude of the contraction is both surprising and worrisome," said David Daoud, IDC Research Director, Personal Computing. "The industry is going through a critical crossroads, and strategic choices will have to be made as to how to compete with the proliferation of alternative devices and remain relevant to the consumer. Vendors will have to revisit their organizational structures and go to market strategies, as well as their supply chain, distribution, and product portfolios in the face of shrinking demand and looming consolidation."
Regional Highlights
- United States - The U.S. market had another dismal quarter in 1Q13, contracting -12.7% year on year, with a drop of -18.3% compared to the fourth quarter of 2012. With total volume falling to 14.2 million, quarterly shipments reached their lowest level since the first quarter of 2006. With this latest figure, the U.S. is now in its tenth consecutive quarter of year-on-year contraction (excluding a brief moment of growth - less than 2% year on year - in 3Q11).
- EMEA - As expected, Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) remained constrained, posting a stronger double-digit decline than anticipated in the first quarter of 2013. Results fell short of expectations in the consumer segment as softness in demand persisted amid a continued shift to tablets and ongoing budget pressures. Meanwhile, the market response to Windows 8 and touch-enabled devices remained slow, leading to cautious sell-in from most vendors. Shipments in the commercial market remained constrained as predicted, following continued economic pressure and lack of major IT renewals.
- Japan - PC shipments were in line with expectations in the first quarter. Some economic improvement is helping to support commercial replacement demand ahead of the scheduled end of support for Windows XP next year. However, consumer shipments remained very weak.
- Asia/Pacific (excluding Japan) (APeJ) - PC shipments in APeJ declined sharply, dropping a record -12.7% year on year, the first time the region has experienced a double-digit decline. Although much of the earlier Windows 7 stock had cleared, a lukewarm reception toward Windows 8 hampered new shipments. China's inactivity contributed heavily to the decline, as public sector spending continued to be constrained.
Vendor Highlights
- HP remained the top vendor, but posted a substantial double-digit decline in shipments after an aggressive fourth quarter kept growth flat during the holidays. HP's worldwide shipments fell more than -23% year on year in 1Q13, with significant declines across all regions, as internal restructuring continued to affect commercial sales. Although HP maintained its leadership position in the United States, the company saw U.S. shipments fall -22.9% from a year ago.
- Lenovo remained second in global shipments and nearly closed the gap with HP. Lenovo continued to outpace the market, notably expanding shipments with its attack strategy. In the United States, Lenovo outperformed the market with double digit year-on-year growth compared to the market's double-digit contraction. Shipments in Asia/Pacific declined, however, keeping Lenovo's overall growth flat.
- Dell saw shipments decline by more than -10% globally and -14% in the United States. The vendor continued to face tough competition and struggled with customer uncertainty about the direction of its restructuring. Nevertheless, the decline in shipments was smaller than the past few quarters, and its sales to Asia/Pacific returned to positive growth.
- Acer Group continued to see substantial declines in shipments across regions. As the leader in Mini Notebook shipments, the vendor has been particularly exposed to the decline in these systems. Slow consumer and SMB growth has also taken a toll. In a sequential comparison, Acer's market share rose slightly to 8.1% in 1Q12 from 8.0% in 4Q12, halting its market share decline.
- ASUS managed some growth in the United States, but saw a substantial decline in EMEA and Asia/Pacific. The company's substantial surge in Americas shipments in the second half of 2012 gave way to limited growth as demand weakened.
- Apple fared better than the overall U.S. market, but still saw shipments decline as its own PCs also face competition from iPads.
- Toshiba also saw shipments decline in the United States, but fared better than the overall market, benefitting somewhat from the restructuring of market leaders HP and Dell.

Isle of Wight's sunken World War II tanks studiedBreaking News
Maritime archaeologists have investigated ways for World War II tanks at the bottom of the sea near the Isle of Wight to be protected.
The tanks and other equipment were being carried on a landing craft which capsized and lost its cargo as it was heading for the D-Day landings in 1944.
They sit on the seabed between the east of the island and Selsey, West Sussex.
Hampshire and Wight Trust for Maritime Archaeology is looking at how land legislation can be applied to the sea.

i could not see the themes in the 'presentation' admin page. not the default two themes or any new uploaded themes. i eventually found (from a post here) about the permissions issue, so i went around 777'ing lots of files, but that didn't help. eventually i figured out that you can set permissions for files aswell (maybe i'm stoopid, but i didn't make this idea-leap at first) so i 777'd the wp_content file itself (and enclosed items for good measure) and now i can see themes. yippeeee!

The effects of age at cochlear implantation and hearing aid trial on auditory performance of Chinese infants
ABSTRACT Most of the infants demonstrated rapid improvement in the three different auditory skills within the first year after switch-on. Infants undergoing hearing aid trial and habilitation demonstrated a significant positive effect on the development of auditory skills in comparison with infants without trial and habilitation.
This paper aims to evaluate the auditory performance of infants of different age at cochlear implantation, emphasize the importance of the hearing aid trial and habilitation before implant, and provide baseline data of auditory development.
In all, 259 infants with prelingually profound hearing loss participated in this study. The Infant-Toddler Meaningful Auditory Integration Scale (IT-MAIS) was used to assess auditory skills in infants at different intervals.
The mean scores for the auditory skills improved significantly over time. The mean scores of three skills for each group at each interval were significantly different. The mean scores of the auditory skills were significantly superior for infants undergoing hearing aid trial and habilitation in comparison with those of infants without hearing aid trial and habilitation.

- "To date, most Chinese pediatric CI studies have evaluated speech understanding in terms of language awareness [21], lexical tone production and perception [22] [23], Cantonese word recognition [24], as well as closed-set Mandarin early speech perception [25]. Because of general difficulties associated with testing children (e.g., limited language development, subject attention, etc.), very few studies have evaluated Chinese CI users' open-set word or sentence recognition with multiple talkers. "
ABSTRACT: Because of difficulties associated with pediatric speech testing, most pediatric cochlear implant (CI) speech studies necessarily involve basic and simple perceptual tasks. There are relatively few studies regarding Mandarin-speaking pediatric CI users' perception of more difficult speech materials (e.g., words and sentences produced by multiple talkers). Difficult speech materials and tests necessarily require older pediatric CI users, who may have different etiologies of hearing loss, duration of deafness, CI experience. The present study investigated how pediatric CI patient demographics influence speech recognition performance with relatively difficult test materials and methods. In this study, open-set recognition of multi-talker (two males and two females) Mandarin Chinese disyllables and sentences were measured in 37 Mandarin-speaking pediatric CI users. Subjects were grouped according to etiology of deafness and previous acoustic hearing experience. Group 1 subjects were all congenitally deafened with little-to-no acoustic hearing experience. Group 2 subjects were not congenitally deafened and had substantial acoustic hearing experience prior to implantation. Multiple linear regression analyses were performed within each group using subject demographics such as age at implantation and age at testing. Pediatric CI performance was generally quite good. For Group 1, mean performance was 82.3% correct for disyllables and 82.8% correct for sentences. For Group 2, mean performance was 76.6% correct for disyllables and 84.4% correct for sentences. For Group 1, multiple linear regression analyses showed that age at implantation predicted disyllable recognition, and that age at implantation and age at testing predicted sentence recognition. For Group 2, neither age at implantation nor age at testing predicted disyllable or sentence recognition. Performance was significantly better with the female than with the male talkers. Consistent with previous studies' findings, early implantation provided a significant advantage for profoundly deaf children. Performance for both groups was generally quite good for the relatively difficult materials and tasks, suggesting that open-set word and sentence recognition may be useful in evaluating speech performance with older pediatric CI users. Differences in disyllable recognition between Groups 1 and 2 may reflect differences in adaptation to electric stimulation. The Group 1 subjects developed speech patterns exclusively via electric stimulation, while the Group 2 subjects adapted to electric stimulation relative to previous acoustic patterns.International journal of pediatric otorhinolaryngology 06/2011; 75(6):793-800.

Article: Evaluation of auditory development in infants and toddlers who received cochlear implants under the age of 24 months with the LittlEARS® Auditory Questionnaire[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Newborn hearing screening and early intervention for congenital hearing loss have created a need for tools assessing the hearing development of very young children. A multidisciplinary evaluation of children's development is now becoming standard in clinical practice, though not many reliable diagnostic instruments exist. For this reason, the LittlEARS Auditory Questionnaire (LEAQ) was created to assess the auditory skills of a growing population of infants and toddlers who receive hearing instruments. The LEAQ relies on parent report, which has been shown to be a reliable way of assessing child development. Results with this tool in a group of children who received very early cochlear implantation are presented. The LEAQ is the first module of the LittlEARS comprehensive test battery for children under the age of two who have normal hearing (NH), cochlear implants (CIs) or hearing aids (HAs). The LEAQ is a parent questionnaire comprised of 35 "yes/no" questions which can be completed by parents in less than 10 min. Sixty-three children who received unilateral CIs at a young age were assessed longitudinally and their performance was compared to that of a NH group. All CI children reached the maximum possible score on the LEAQ on average by 22 months of hearing age, i.e. 38 months of chronological age. In comparison, the NH group reached the maximum score by 24 months of age demonstrating that auditory skills of CI children often develop quicker than those of NH children. In the two comparison groups of children aged (a) younger and older than 12 months, and (b) between 6-9 and 21-24 months at first fitting, the early implanted children reached the highest scores faster than the later implanted children. Furthermore, three children with additional needs were tested. They showed slower growth over time but also received benefits from early implantation. The LEAQ is a quick and effective tool for assessing auditory skills of very young children with or without hearing loss. In our study, the auditory skills of children with CI progressed very quickly after implantation and were comparable with those of NH peers.International journal of pediatric otorhinolaryngology 10/2010; 74(10):1149-55.

Niche Market | Natural History Emporium
New York is a city of specialists from foodies to academics, laborers to shopkeepers. Every Wednesday, Niche Market will take a peek inside a different specialty store and showcase the city's purists who have made an art out of selling one commodity. Slideshow below.
Maxilla and Mandible
451 Columbus Avenue
New York NY, 10024
Troy Jones' eyes swooped across the fossils, dinosaur bones, shells, framed insects and skulls with the hunger and tangible excitement of a child. This high-rise window washer visiting from Seattle peered at tiny vials containing a thin, twisted silver material resting in a sandbox.
"What are those?" Jones asked Mike Douggan, the manager of Maxilla and Mandible, who is someone who takes joy in answering such questions.
"That's lightening!" Douggan said energetically. He then presented a verbal definition of fulgurites, the glass-like formation formed when lightening hits sand, in this case, in the Moroccan Sahara desert.
At Maxilla and Mandible (which refers to upper and lower jawbones), a curio cabinet selling scientific specimens culled from all over the world, people walk in and just stare with wonder. Then they ask questions. Children, in particular, return over and over again.
"Children are natural born scientists. Their predisposition towards science is apparent even before language," Douggan theorized. "But when adults are in the store, it brings out the child in you, the child scientist, and you become curious, and fascinated as you look around you."
A network of buyers and paleontologists supply the shop with dinosaur bones dug up in Wyoming, millions of years old fossils from Bali and Indochina and shells from the world's coasts. Originally, it was strictly bones. The owner, Henry Galiano, who worked as a paleontologist at the American Museum of Natural History (located around the corner) decided to open Maxilla and Mandible in 1984. He calls the store a "Victorian Revival," referring to the 19th century hobby of creating cabinets of curiosities.
Douggan, who is not a scientist but an artist and comedian (rapidly apparent in conversation), curates the items into artistic displays. Unique objects fill every inch of wall and shelf space — even the ceiling is decked with posters. There's an entomology section, an anthropological section of hominid skulls (reproductions) and vintage taxidermy grazing the ceiling. Baroque music plays gently in the background.
"It's the best contemplative music," Douggan said. "So you can focus on all these amazing things that you're looking at."
Prices range widely: three shark teeth for a dollar or $850 for a giraffe skull.
Trilobite fossils (extinct arthropods) are the oldest in the store — more than 250-million-years old. Those are the first creatures in the fossil record to have vision, Douggan explained, while resting a preserved trilobite on his palm. He paused to ponder why people are fascinated by the shop's remnants of natural history.
"I just think it cultivates your brain, it awakens your senses. It's the stuff of life, the miracle of the engineering that you see in nature."
Who are your customers?
We do get a lot of professional scientists and artists and very esoteric, knowledgeable people, from day one back in 1984. But we also just get regular people who are either visiting the Museum of Natural History around the corner. They're in the neighborhood, they stop in, and it brings out the scientist in people. Because most of us love science, and when we were children we were great scientists. And when we get kids in the store, children are natural born scientists. They're predisposition towards science is apparent even before language, if you really look at the kid... And it's scientific in nature, the specimens are technically science specimens, but most of what you're looking at reads like art.
Dentists like to come into the store because the name is Maxilla and Mandible and that's their stock and trade, so I find a lot of dentists will come in very delighted just at the name of the store. And then people walking by come in and they're converted. They'll say, 'I love this,' and they didn't realize they were going to leave with a 55 million-year-old fish fossil but they do.
What's the most valuable item in the store?
One of the rarest things are these sea lilies. It's a distant relative of starfish. It's a crinoid. They go all the way back nearly to the beginning of the fossil record. ... It's believed that these creatures, after they died, fell apart very quickly, so to have one preserved is quite rare and they usually do fetch a decent price. They're absolutely beautiful. And the calcified ossicles that you see that make up this look like a flower but it's an animal. Those compose most of the world's limestone. Like the white cliffs of Dover, or the substantial limestone layer that you see in Germany and France — actually the limestone that makes their wine so interesting, these are dead crinoids, dead calcarious material from deceased creatures. But I digress. The sea lily, I would say is one of the rarest and higher priced.
Why do you think people like bones and fossils?
It's very popular these days to have things that are strange or macabre. It's very fashionable — whether its Lady Gaga or Gothic music. Maxilla and Mandible was doing this way before any of that. As a company, our primary focus is scientific. We have a sense of humor about it, but I just think that it awakens, it cultivates your brain. It wakens your sense. It's the stuff of life. The miracle of the engineering that you see in nature when you examine bones, or malacology. The science of shells, when you stop like a little kid will do at the beach to actually look at a sea shell and just realize what takes place. That thing was built by a little small animal that has a very small brain — if it even has a brain. Sometimes a mollusk is just a nerve ending with eyes, and it can build this beautifully engineered shell and has been doing it for millions of years, this is the kind of thing that fascinates people. Manhattan is a very cultured and intelligent place, and I think we fit right in, it just delights people to see this stuff and to handle it and buy it.

In other words, someone whose vote Obama probably got in 2008 and would like to get again. But the extent to which Obama's policies hurt oil companies will affect her future — and that of the grandchildren — as well.
Obama's anti-oil baron rhetoric is political pablum, something to be expected from a man who's never produced anything or made a payroll. Beyond the rhetoric is the policy. He proposes raising $41 billion over the next decade from tax increases on the oil and gas industry, more than any other industrial sector. He would repeal the domestic manufacturing deduction for the industry, while other industries could retain it. This flies in the face of his "all-of-the-above" energy policy and his celebration of American companies hiring Americans.
Another punitive target is the tax break for intangible drilling costs. The list goes on and on, a policy script heavily weighted against oil and gas and for "clean energy technology" that gave us Solyndra and other debacles.
"Dallas" seasons typically contained an episode featuring the annual oil barons ball, a fancy soiree at a posh hotel. In the real world, the Dallas Cowboys stadium in Arlington couldn't hold a fraction of the people who actually own oil and gas companies.

Withholding tax when invoice currency and functional currency differ
Nov 5, 2012 1:09 AM
Hi All,
We have a requirement where Withholding tax has to be calculated based on invoice currency and not on functional currency. When the tax grp is created ( we are using amt ranges) - the currency is being set with functional currency (MXN) as per Set of Books .
The new Legal entity being added using the currency that of USD but the ORG to which this LE is added uses MXN as the functional currency.
please let me know whether a witholding tax line be create same as invoice currency when functional currency is different.
ex: The invoice is created with currency in USD. The invoice goes to Hold with reason - the invoice currency is different with WHT currency.
Thanks & Regards

Aconcagua: Rest Day at Basecamp
Posted by: | January 12, 2011
Categories: *Expedition Dispatches *Aconcagua
Elevation: 13,800'
After yesterday's trip up to Basecamp, the team is enjoying a much-deserved rest day today. While most of us were woken by the 'whop whop whop' of a helicopter as it flew in with a load of supplies, others had already been up due to the cacophony of snores throughout camp. Warm, sunny skies greeted us for our breakfast of eggs with cheese, coffee and juice. The next order of business was a trip to the medical shelter for a quick check with the doctors to make sure everyone was acclimatizing well for our push further up the mountain. Everyone passed with flying colors. The afternoon ahead looks to be filled with eating, drinking, and rounds of backgammon. We will be making our first carry to Camp 1 tomorrow and are hoping for the forecasted weather of sun and light winds. Until tomorrow,

MAINTAIN a UNITED JERUSALEM- how? By agreement Between Israel & Palestine! and supported by the international community. BUT FIRST THE WALL MUST GO! It's only function is "ethnic cleansing", and now it is openly expressed by many Israeli politicians. The APARTHEID WALL separates between Palestinians and Palestinians; (see the map). It has nothing to do with "guaranteeing security". A wall between Beit Hanina and Shu'afat and A Ram & Hizme & Ramallah (all Palestinian) is not "preventing terror"-- it is fomenting it. (2) UNITED as London? Jerusalem could have a "Greater Jerusalem Coucil", with the burroughs structure of London, local communes under commen (and alternating) Mayor. (3) The flags of Israel, Palestine and the UN should fly over it. Israeli flag over the "Jewish" Western section. Palestinian over the "Arab" Eastern sectors. UN flag over al-Aqsa and the old city incl. the Wailing Wall. (4) Freedom of religion (not excuted by Israel on Al Aqsa) and elsewhere and...

Frozen is now the highest grossing animated film of all time with a $1.0274 billion worldwide total. The Disney film reached the summit after taking $398.4 million from North America and $674 million overseas. Frozen is Walt Disney Studio's seventh billion-dollar release in the studio's history and the first billion-dollar film for Walt Disney Animation Studios.
Frozen made headlines after taking the biggest Thanksgiving debut of all time in North America ($93.6M five-day, $67.4M three-day) before going on to finish in the top ten domestically for 16 consecutive weekends, the longest run by any film since 2002, on its way to winning the Best Animated Feature Oscar.
Frozen is the biggest Disney or Pixar animated film of all time in 27 territories, including Russia, China, and Brazil. A record breaking $77.1 million run in South Korea has made it the is the biggest animated film, the second biggest non-local film, and Disney's biggest release of all time in the market. Frozen is also the highest-grossing animated film of all time in Denmark and Venezuela.
Captain America: The Winter Soldier rolled out in 32 territories ahead of its North American debut, claiming the global box office crown for the weekend with a massive $75.2 million bow. The opening figure is all the more impressive when considering the film has just opened in around 57% of the overseas market place, with key markets like Russia, China, Japan, Brazil and Australia still on the horizon. Top openings came in from South Korea ($10.9M), the United Kingdom ($10.7M), Mexico ($8.7M), and France ($6.4M).
The $75.2 million overseas debut is already 39% of the overseas theatrical total of the first Captain Americafilm. Disney reports "considerable daily increases" for the film across numerous markets, suggesting strong audience satisfaction and positive word of mouth.
South Korea's $10.9 million bow is more than four times the original Captain America opening and is the third biggest ever Marvel weekend in the market. The United Kingdom enjoyed a $10.7 million opening, more than twice the opening figures for its predecessor in the market. The film posted an $8.7 million debut in Mexico, making it the #3 March/April weekend in the market's history behind Marvel's The Avengers and Iron Man 3.
Captain America: The Winter Soldier expands to North America, Russia, Australia, and China next weekend.
Noah packed in $33.6 million from 3,579 locations locations in 22 markets this weekend to reach an overseas cume of $51.1 million. The film's $44 million debut in North America puts it at the cusp of reaching the $100 million mark worldwide with a $95.1 million total.
"We are absolutely thrilled with the continued strong performance internationally and look forward to sharing the excitement over the coming weeks with the rest of the world," said Anthony Marcoly, President of Paramount Pictures International, over email on Sunday. "Darren and team have delivered a fantastic film that audiences on every continent are turning up in volumes to see."
Russia welcomed Noah with the biggest opening of all time for a non sequel and the #4 opening of all time in the market with a $17.2 million debut. It marks Paramount's biggest ever opening in the market. The film's opening weekend numbers in Russia are 181% higher than Inception and 165% above Gravity in the same market.
Australia took a $4.3 million debut from 262 cinemas, 32% ahead of Gravity's opening weekend results. The film gathered $27.4 million from 20 new territories this weekend.
Mexico was the top hold-over with $3.4 million from 620 sites, down 40% from last weekend's opening figures and bringing the local 10-day total up to $11.3 million. South Korea took $2.8 million from 578 cinemas in its second weekend, finishing its first hold in second place behind the opening of Captain America: The Winter Soldier. The total in South Korea is up to $12.4 million.
Noah expands to Germany, Brazil, Spain, and the United Kingdom on April 4. It will reach France on April 9, Italy on April 10, and will land in Japan on June 13.

Lionsgate's Divergent led the way on Thursday with $3.07 million. The highly anticipated young adult adaptation starring Shailene Woodley was down 7 percent from Wednesday. Divergent was easily the week's top film with a very solid seven-day start of $68.76 million. The opening week performance of Divergent was 26 percent softer than the $93.36 million seven-day start of 2008's Twilight and 104 percent stronger than the $33.75 million seven-day take of last year's Ender's Game. With Paramount's Noah entering the marketplace, Divergent is widely expected to fall to second place this weekend.
Speaking of Noah, the Darren Aronofsky directed biblical epic starring Russell Crowe, was off to a solid late night start with an estimated $1.6 million from late night shows that began at 7 p.m. That was 33 percent stronger than the recent $1.2 million late night start of Fox's Son of God. It should be noted that late night shows for Son of God began at 10 p.m., though initial sales for that film were also greatly boosted by group pre-sales. As is commonplace, the early grosses for Noah will be counted towards Friday's performance. Check back throughout the weekend for further updates on the progress of Noah at the box office.
Turning back to Thursday, Muppets Most Wanted rounded out its first week of release with a second place take of $1.11 million. The latest Muppets film from Disney was down 4 percent from Wednesday. Muppets Most Wanted placed in second for the week with a softer than anticipated $21.84 million in its first seven days of release. The film opened a disappointing 50 percent below the $43.63 million seven-day start of 2011's The Muppets (which did have the advantage of opening the Wednesday before Thanksgiving).
Mr. Peabody & Sherman held steady in third place with $1.01 million. The 3D computer animated film from Fox and DreamWorks Animation fell 6 percent from Wednesday and was down a very slim 11 percent from last Thursday. Mr. Peabody & Sherman placed in third for the week with $16.11 million. That represented a 41 percent decline from the previous frame and brings the film's three-week total to a respectable $85.41 million.
God's Not Dead took in $0.897 million to continue to claim fourth place. The faith-based drama from Freestyle and Pure Flix was down 8 percent from Wednesday. It should be noted that wide releases in general took larger than usual hits on Thursday due in part to Noah entering the marketplace. God's Not Dead claimed fourth place for the week with $12.95 million. That was stronger than expected and places the film 15 percent ahead of the $11.29 million seven-day start of 2011's Courageous. God's Not Dead will be playing in 1,178 locations this weekend.
Fox Searchlight's The Grand Budapest Hotel continued its impressive run in limited release with a seventh place take of $0.597 million. The Wes Anderson directed film fell 13 percent from Wednesday and generated a strong per-location average of $1,964 for the day. The Grand Budapest Hotel grossed $9.42 million this week, which brings the film's three-week total to $15.63 million. The film will be playing in 977 locations this weekend.
Friday (3/28) Update: Paramount reports that Noah pulled a $2.75 million opening day in Russia yesterday. The studio notes that figure is significantly ahead of Gravity's $1.1 million first day take in the country.
So far, Noah has tallied $22 million in its early overseas rollout.
Thursday (3/27) Update: Paramount reports that Noah earned a strong $750,000 opening day in Australia on Wednesday. That's about 20 percent ahead of Gravity's $615,000 first day take in the country.
Thus far, Noah has earned $18.5 million from its early overseas debut in Korea, Mexico, and Australia combined. Korea accounts for $10 million after 7 days, while Mexico has generated $7.5 million in 6 days.
Meanwhile, Noah will open in Russia today and 18 more markets this weekend.
Sunday (3/23) Update: Need for Speed added $29.2 million from 55 overseas countries. Its performance in China was off just 47 percent from last week, giving it $41.7 million to-date from that country alone. Russia posted a 49 percent decline, giving the film a $10.6 million total there, while Germany gave Speed a #1 opening with $3 million. The film's overseas total is now $96.1 million, giving it $36.98 million globally.
Warner Bros.' 300: Rise of an Empire posted another $21 million overseas this weekend from 63 markets. Its global cume is now $289.2 million, with $195.4 million coming internationally. The studio notes the following single-market performances:

Paramount reports that Darren Aronofsky's Noah opened to a strong $14 million this weekend from 1,585 screens in Mexico and Korea combined. The studio notes that the opening is 7 percent ahead of Gravity, 35 percent ahead of Inception, 55 percent ahead of Skyfall, and 84 percent ahead of Life of Pi in the comparable territories.

One of the easiest — and one of the most difficult — colors to imagine in a kitchen is vibrant blue.
By that I mean saturated blue and blue-green which are cool colors that read hot. That's because they are intense rather than muted. Vibrant blue and blue-greens are the anti-neutrals. We don't see vibrant blue kitchens very often but when we do, it's color-lover's heaven.
Celestial is one way to describe the range and range wall [top] in the upstate New York kitchen of Boston designer Frank Roop. The designer's wife, Sharon, loves blue and chose the Provence Blue Cornue Fé range.… Continue Reading

Jesus music's Janny Grein dies in Texas
JESUS music pioneer Janny Grein died of cancer in Fort Worth, Texas on 4th August. A native of Arkansas, Janny was working the mainstream clubs until she and her husband Bill both experienced a spiritual awakening after watching the film King Of Kings on TV. In 1976 Janny became the second artist signed to the newly birthed Sparrow Records. Her albums 'Free Indeed' (1976), 'Covenant Woman' (1977) and 'He Made Me Worthy' (1978) all became popular on US Christian radio. Later in her ministry Janny wrote the book Called, Appointed, Anointed and over the last few years has released albums independently, the last being 'River Rising' in 2009. Janny's public memorial service will be held at Eagle Mountain International Church in Fort Worth on 9th August. An article about Janny will be published soon by Cross Rhythms.

Janny's music had a great effect on my life in the late 70s when I was a new believer. Janny's music was always based on the Word and had great anointing. 'Covenant woman' had a great effect on my life. I recall the words of the songs and sing them even today.
I discovered Janny at Calvary Cathederal , the one than blew away in the tornado years ago. Rodney Howard Brown's service. She is remarkable. Her song, "Stronger Than Before" saved my life and mind when I lost my son in a custody battle and his dad kidnapped him. He was 14 yrs old at the time. I did not see him again until he was 17. I cried myself to sleep for three months while I listened to that song at night til GOD brought me comfort and healed my heart and mind. Then I heard Gloria Copeland preach the message when GOD told her to pray for 'mercy to cover her son John', I began to pray that for my son. When he left his dad at age 17 and told me he was coming home, I know God kept him for me all those years. I still pray that for my son today and his family.I'm so grateful for her and the music she brought to us. Thank you Janny.
Great music we can all be blessed to keep the music moving The lord Jesus is the Christ.
I bought 2 cassette tapes by Janny at a Rodney Howard Brown meeting, I played it the other day and it broke. Where can I buy more of her music? Spiritual freedom, Janny. Love her music.
This is the first music my young ears heard in East Texas in the early eighties. I recently bought a copy of the album me and my sister grew up on as toddlers. I still remember so much of it even though it must be close to 30 years ago. This music is a blessing and touched my life is unknown ways. I bought two records and when the other comes in the mail I will send it to my mother who will enjoy listening to Janny again. "Build your house on a rock!"
WOW, I just happen to think of Janny's song and started to singing it here at home moment ago. "All of my life I searched for you......and I thought, wonder what Janny is doing these days..... so I went on the web and searched her name. I had no Idea she was fighting cancer. II first heard Janny sing in the late 1980's at Wheaton Christian Center. At the time I was really going through what I call a LIFE experience. Janny began singing her song, "All of my heart". That song changed my life. I later did puchase her book entitled, Called, Appointed and Anointed which really gave me insight and direction in the area of the call to minister to the lost. God Bless You Janny. Thank you so much for the music you left on this side of life. May all who hears it experience the impact of salvation and deliverance as did.
Janny's music was very transformative to me in the early years of my walk with the Lord. Years later I am a Pastor, and in a moment of great spiritual challenge, her music came back to my heart. I was so happy to find her music on YouTube, and tried to look her up to see if I could have her come perform. I was so saddened to see she had passed, but I know where she is, and I am so happy for her. I will hear her sing again when I join her.
I graduated with this beautiful person in 1964 from Joplin, MO. I had not known of her or what she had been doing until today. I only wish I had known and been able to follow her career and beenjoy able to listen and purchase her beautiful works. What I missed out on saddens me deeply. Is there anyway to purchase some of her albums etc. Janice RIP
Thank you Janny you and your music changed my life.
Janny Grein brought the 91st Psalm to me in such a personal way. It's remained my "refuge" passage so often, and I cannot think of it without hearing her voice singing it. So very sorry we've lost her, but know she's with the Lord in peace and eternal love.
I so agree! I have tried downloading her older albums on iTunes and they aren't available. Does anyone know how I can get her older albums?
